Welcome to Pegsville

Hi, I'm Peg.
I write novels,
I blog about the writing life,
and I teach workshops on Fear & Writing.

I created Pegsville so readers could find me, but also so they could peek inside a writer's life and see what it's really like--all the highs and lows and nausea-inducing loop-de-loops. Whether you're a reader, or a writer, or both, I'm glad you're here. Shuck off your shoes and stay a while!

Come to My Workshop

I'm teaching my Fear & Writing workshop for the Seattle Public Library on Saturday, March 10, 2018 from 2-4pm. The last one I taught in September got so full, we had to lock the doors and turn people away. So come early and grab your seat! All you need is a pen/pencil, paper, and an open mind. FREE and open to the public.

Eunice Yang wants just two things in life: to win The Contest and to beat Thad Warfield.The middle grade novel you've been waiting for: diverse characters who are funny and real. -- E.S.
I couldn't put it down. I really connected with the characters...I hope there is a sequel! -- Leah
A pitch perfect and timely tale that is certainly about bullying, but also gives young readers a deeper message about the way we all feel like outsiders. -- Sandra
